They hope to understand how you handle disappointment and what you learn from such experiences. Your attitude towards this experience should reveal your self-awareness and emotional intelligence. It may also tell them more about your general attitude and approach towards life. Every setback is a learning opportunity. Define the situation, the obstacle, and how you overcame it, metaphorically or literally. Use examples that showcase your ability to modify your work style, emphasizing your ingenuity, swift reaction times, and the big-picture philosophy behind your course of action. Avoid examples that reflect poorly on your performance or reliability.

"There was an opportunity to take part in starting a department abroad. I was enthusiastic about the opportunity, but I'd just started a new relationship and invested in that instead. The relationship didn't last, and in hindsight, I wish I'd jumped at the chance. It would've helped my career in leaps and bounds. I'd say that was my biggest regret."
